No government money will be awarded for rebuilding any of the 114 homes leveled by a deadly tornado that tore through one of the nation's most polluted areas last weekend. Picher, Oklahoma was leveled by a tornado as 114 homes were totally demolished and seven citizens killed. Aid will be given to the area but people will be asked to rebuild somewhere else since mine collapses, open shafts, and lead-contaminated water covers the area.
